Genetically modified (GM) crops and foods are a threat to the environment and to the future of organic food and farming. What GM foods are on the market and what is coming? What actions can we take to stop GM apples, salmon and alfalfa? Join us to get the latest information and ask your questions!

Lucy Sharratt from CBAN – Canadian Biotechnology Action Network and April Reeves of GE Free BC will be touring BC Canada this September. Look us up when we come to your area! See many of you at the Okanagan Organic Festival! Look for our table!

Please download and distribute among feed dealers. Many of them are not aware of the issue. Please take this to them and educate them, but most of all, let them know you will not be buying it when it’s harvested this fall. At least don’t buy US alfalfa: we don’t have GE alfalfa in Canada, yet.

April: If any of you can get out to any of the rally marches across the US please do! These are sanctioned by the Organic Consumer’s Association, and started by 2 facebook friends: I pitched in with media help and it has spun into a huge movement!

Jeffrey Smith will be speaking at another Oregon rally on April 16th on the Capital Steps in Denver! That rally has thousands attending so far, so get out there and have your say! Spread this link everywhere!
